Almost every branch member of the Hyuga clan had a main branch member they were responsible for serving.
Called “attendants,” they were in reality “servants.”
But not every main branch member was as gentle as Hinata Hyuga.
If one was unlucky enough to be assigned to serve a main branch member with a terrible personality, then in addition to being a “servant,” they would also serve as a “training punching bag.”
Coincidentally, the main branch member Yun Chuan Hyuga served was exactly such a person who didn’t treat the lives of the branch family as human lives.
And the guy in front of him was just a good lapdog.
The smile on Yun Chuan Hyuga’s face faded slightly.
He ignored the Hyuga clan member’s deliberate fault-finding and just continued walking outside.
The other party clearly didn’t expect that Yun Chuan Hyuga, who had always submissively accepted gossip and rumors, would ignore him.
His face instantly darkened, and he called out directly in a deep voice: “Yun Chuan Hyuga, I’m asking you!”
Yun Chuan Hyuga still didn’t pay attention and kept walking.
Seeing this, Might Guy just shrugged and followed.
“Trash!
I told you to halt!”
An angry voice reached his ears from behind, followed by the whistling sound of tearing wind.
The guy was actually reaching for Yun Chuan Hyuga’s shoulder.
The force behind the strike showed absolutely no trace of camaraderie between fellow clansmen.
Might Guy stopped, frowned, and was about to step in to stop it.
But the instant that hand landed on the shoulder, Yun Chuan Hyuga’s body shook forcefully like a “sturdy pine shaking off snow.” A bone-piercing force instantly traveled from his entire body to his shoulder, making the Hyuga clan member’s palm feel numb.
The next moment, before the astonished Hyuga clan member could react.
Without looking back, Yun Chuan Hyuga bent his arm, stepped his left foot forward, and shifted his body drawing a “circle.” The corner of his white clothes spun lightly with his movement, revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles, and he pushed his palm forward.
In the eyes of the Hyuga clan member, his right hand was shaken off first.
The Yun Chuan Hyuga in front of him disappeared at a speed akin to the “Body Flicker” jutsu, lowered his stance, and pressed his palm against his abdomen.
Then, a force far superior to his own, an unimaginable power, rushed over him like a tidal wave following that palm.
Bang!!
The terrifying power erupted within half a centimeter, striking the Hyuga clan member’s body with a force enough to shake rock, making him bend over as if hit by a battering ram.
Just as a mouthful of blood was about to spew from the Hyuga clan member’s mouth.
“Seeing blood wouldn’t be good.” A nonchalant voice reached his ears.
Yun Chuan Hyuga’s right palm faced upward, elbow pointing downward, and expressionlessly, he gently patted his chin.
Only a crisp “crack” was heard, and the mouthful of foul blood rushing to his throat was swallowed back down.
“Cough, cough!
Cough!!”
A look of pain covered the Hyuga clan member’s face.
Clutching his throat and abdomen, his body powerlessly collapsed to his knees in front of Yun Chuan Hyuga.
“You actually dared to…”
His Byakugan bulged slightly, veins popped around them, and he stared with eyes wide open, looking up at Yun Chuan Hyuga.
But, making eye contact with those calm eyes, the second half of his sentence inexplicably got stuck in his throat, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.
It was an unprovoked chill, like a venomous snake slithering over his body, pressing down bit by bit with an icy temperature.
Was he actually afraid?
Afraid of this piece of trash, how could that be…
Yun Chuan Hyuga looked down at him, a smile hanging on his face again.
He gently patted his shoulder, ignored his slightly trembling body, and walked out of the clan compound alongside Might Guy.
“I didn’t expect you to reach this level!”
On the way, Might Guy’s tone remained relaxed.
He only felt curious about Yun Chuan Hyuga’s actions.
He had naturally heard of Yun Chuan Hyuga’s past “deeds,” but Yun Chuan Hyuga was a friend he recognized.
He felt Yun Chuan was not the “piece of trash” in the rumors.
Leaving everything else aside, just that never-before-seen taijutsu form just now, which seemed to blend Strong Fist and Gentle Fist, was, in his eyes, much stronger than those Hyuga clan members stuck in their old ways.
He just didn’t understand why Yun Chuan had always ignored the rumors.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of senior.
They are, after all, my fellow clansmen.
I didn’t want to go too far either,” Yun Chuan Hyuga said apologetically.
Might Guy shook his head and grinned: “You did nothing wrong.
Youth tolerates no defilement.”
[Ding, your lie has been judged as [Speaking Nonsense], Might Guy produced a weak emotional fluctuation, reaching the level of [Deeply Convinced], obtaining 200 realization points…]
This was, of course, a lie.
Why did he ignore them before?
On one hand, because the plan against Orochimaru hadn’t succeeded yet, a harmless “piece of trash” image was more useful to him.
On the other hand…
“When a dog barks at the village entrance, the other dogs will bark along, but they don’t know why they are barking.”
“If you have to stop and throw a stone to drive away every barking wild dog, you’ll never get anything else done.”
Yun Chuan Hyuga chuckled internally.
He absolutely couldn’t muster any emotional fluctuation towards a background character who didn’t even deserve a name.
Taking action against him was, on one hand, to try out the new moves he had thought of, and on the other hand, to lay the groundwork for his next plan.
Only rats blindly hide in the gutters, and no one would believe a “rat’s” words.
Just like if Danzo Shimura said something, the villagers would just say, ‘who is this old geezer?’ But if Hiruzen Sarutobi casually said something, no matter how bizarre, people would subconsciously doubt if they had failed to understand.
A lie only becomes a universal truth when spoken by a person with authority and power.
The modification of Yun Chuan Hyuga by the bloodline was from the inside out, from intangible perception and talent to the physical strength of his body.
If there was no external interference, the modification and cleansing of the body by the bloodline should be a long and slow process, gradually becoming stronger as time passed.
Yun Chuan Hyuga couldn’t wait that long.
He needed more Realization Points, so he needed to approach other high-quality targets.
He needed to appropriately reveal his abilities to increase his exploitable value.
The “resistance” just now was merely the first step.
Barring any accidents, next, the news that he was modified by Orochimaru’s human experiments would be known by more people.
Hiruzen Sarutobi should have already taken the one currently codenamed “Kinoe”—Tenzo (Yamato)—under his wing.
As one of the only two surviving experimental subjects from Orochimaru’s hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura would definitely start plotting and testing him.
Thinking of this, Yun Chuan Hyuga thought of his own eyes again, his gaze flickering.
He recited in his heart: “Materialize Object — A pure Byakugan that can awaken the Tenseigan after fusion.”
[Costs 10,000 realization points, proceed to materialize?]
“I actually have exactly enough?”
Hearing this, Yun Chuan Hyuga hesitated for a moment.
Just to be safe, he probed and silently recited: “Materialize Object — The method to awaken the Tenseigan by fusing a pure Byakugan with pure Otsutsuki bloodline.”
[Insufficient points]
“…” Yun Chuan Hyuga’s face instantly darkened.
“Indeed, it’s still missing something.”
Fortunately, he didn’t fall for this dog system’s trick.
If he had impulsively spent his entire fortune and ended up with a pair of Byakugan he couldn’t use, he truly would have no place to cry.
“In that case, I’ll have to use the second method to be safer.” Yun Chuan Hyuga frowned.
The purity of the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan should be higher than the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki branch on the moon.
The only problem was that the quantity was far inferior to the Otsutsuki clan that had securely occupied the moon for thousands of years.
And who knows if digging out the eyes of the entire clan would be enough to fuse a Tenseigan…
“Ahem.”
As the thought arose, Yun Chuan Hyuga couldn’t help but cough, hastily muttering ‘forgive my sins’ in his heart.
Digging out everyone’s eyes was truly too evil.
He wasn’t that beast Itachi Uchiha.
Just digging out the eyes of those Hyuga members who had awakened the Byakugan would be enough.
Digging the eyes of ordinary people who hadn’t awakened them would be useless anyway.
Of course, he couldn’t be the one to do this.
He had a better candidate.
Now, he just had to wait for those old fogeys to reveal their ugly faces.
